Statement of FCC Spokesperson regarding AOL/Time Warner Transaction
The FCC staff is engaged in ongoing analysis and review of the proposed AOL/Time
Warner merger transaction and has made no recommendations to the full Commission on the
matter.
Any media stories about potential staff recommendations or draft reports can only be
based on incomplete and speculative analysis and do not accurately reflect the decision-making
process at the FCC.
The FCC staff is continuing its analysis of the record in this transaction and will make its
recommendations to the Commission upon completion of this review. At that time, the
Commission will review the staff recommendations and make its decision.
